Hi,

 

So... I finished my first movie and rendered it with the following settings:

1920 x 1080

24 (Cinema)

WebM High (2Mb)

Render 3D: No

 

The camera sensor size throughout is 4/3" as best I can tell

 

However, when I look at the rendered movie, what I edited has been cropped by a good 10%, almost as if the rendered movie was from within the 90% safety margin.

 

Thoughts!?

 

Thanks!

 

Paul

Hi, 1920 X 1080 is 16:9 not 4:3 aspect ratio. Try changing it to that in the Camera menu and see if that works.

Thanks for the post!

 

The Camera setting identifies the sensor size, not the render settings correct? A 4/3" sensor size does not have anything to do with a 4:3 aspect ratio for rendering (I hope)?

 

I think what it had to do with was rendering as the full 1080p instead of 720p. When I rendered originally at 1080p, Moviestorm complained with the following: "The resolution you have chosen is too large for your screen. Make the Moviestorm window larger or select a lower resolution. Really render?"

 

So rendering at 1080p cropped the video, I guess because Moviestorm has to render each image at it is displayed on the screen (seems funky, but ok). At 720p, there was no cropping.

You got me there re sensor size - wouldn't have a clue.

 

But there was a clue in the error message - I would have got that one right

 

Are you running MS in "Run in a window"  mode or just on a smallish screen?

[TallPaul]

"Are you running MS in "Run in a window"  mode or just on a smallish screen?" Hmmm... where is the setting for 'Run in a window'? That could be a solution!

[primaveranz]

It is in the "Graphics" tab under "Settings" when MS starts up.

[TallPaul]

Ahhhh! Mine is greyed out. Right now I am using the 'free' version while I decide whether to purchase or not. Is that a setting related to my graphics card or is it based on whether or not I am using the free version?

[primaveranz]

I guess so, sadly.

Hi. I have aquestion related to this too. I'm trying to render at 1080p. I switched off run in a window after reading this thread but I'm still getting the 'The resolution you have chosen is too large for your screen...' message. Does this mean that I'm going to have to buy a 1080p monitor if I want to render out at 1080p? Seems harsh.

[primaveranz]

I believe so. IIRC The message that appears when you render anything says that MS relies on your PCs card AND monitor to render, so the monitor specs are vital to the result.

I had this problem with my recent video, took me several times and I realized what the problem was. I had Moviestorm in window mode and because of this, it rendered in 1080p wrong. I had to goto graphics settings and un-click the run in a window and I also clicked on widescreen, after that my video rendered correctly in 1080P and there was no cropping.
